Shamo

Shamo
Shawn Yue (Actor) | Francis Ng (Actor) | Annie Liu (Actor) | Pei Wai Ying


Soi Cheang, the director behind the nihilistic hit Dog Bite Dog, veers into even more extreme territory with the unique comic adaptation Shamo. Based on a manga by Hashimoto Izo, Shamo assembles one of the coolest casts in recent memory to tell a dark, funny, and exceptionally violent tale of madness, revenge, and the will to survive. The ubiquitous Shawn Yue adds to his diverse filmography by taking on the demanding lead role, and is joined by Francis Ng (The Mission), Bruce Liang (Kung Fu Hustle), Annie Liu (Exodus), Dylan Kuo (Taiwanese drama The Outsiders), Japanese kickboxer Masato (Lethal Ninja), and Terri Kwan (Turn Left, Turn Right). An extreme manga movie told with skewed angles, unexpected art direction, and more than a little creative craziness, Shamo is as entertaining a mix of Japanese and Hong Kong pop culture as you'll find. Convicted of murdering his own parents in a fit of insanity, Ryo Ishibashi (Shawn Yue) is thrown in a harrowing juvenile detention center, where he's physically and sexually assaulted, pushing him to the brink of suicide. But Ryo is rescued from the abyss by Kenji Kurokawa (Francis Ng), an eccentric karate teacher who instructs Ryo how to become a human weapon. The training gives Ryo the will to live, and once he leaves prison, he decides to test his skills in the extreme fighting tourney Lethal Fight, challenging reigning champ Naoto Sugawara (Masato) to a winner-take-all match. But Ryo is still searching for his missing younger sister, Natsumi (Pei Pei, Dog Bite Dog), who descended into prostitution after Ryo was jailed. During his search, Ryo chances upon another prostitute, Megumi (Annie Liu), who comforts him and gives him the strength to move forward, leave his past behind, and battle for his ultimate goal: defeating Sugawara in the Lethal Fight championship.~yesasia~

Sparrow

Sparrow
Kelly Lin (Actor) | Simon Yam (Actor) | Gordon Lam (Actor) | Lam Suet


Premiering at the Berlin Film Festival with stops at the Udine Far East Film Festival and the New York Asian Film Festival, Johnnie To's Sparrow is certainly well-traveled. The award-winning director took three years to make this gorgeous little film characterized by vibrant locations and heaps of entertaining style. To enlisted many of his regular players for Sparrow - including Simon Yam, Kelly Lin, Gordon Lam, Lo Hoi Pang, and Lam Suet - and each plays their part with solid, practiced charisma. But this is clearly Johnnie To's show, and the director delivers an engaging cinema love letter demonstrating his affection for both his city and the movies. This whimsical thriller creates a glamorous Hong Kong filled with gentleman pickpockets, elegant damsels, and unspoken honor amongst thieves. As lovely and enjoyable as it is breezy and smart, Sparrow is a Hong Kong movie with grace, wit, and abundant cinematic pleasure.

The dapper Kei (Simon Yam) leads a four-man team of pickpockets (played by Gordon Lam, Kenneth Cheung, and Law Wing Cheong), each adept at relieving unsuspecting tourists of their valuables. But their daily thievery is interrupted when Chung Chun Lei (Kelly Lin) enters their lives, bringing with her an elegance and mystery that immediately attracts. She approaches each man separately, drawing each in like moths to a flame, but what's her angle? Is she a thief? A damsel in distress? And why is she constantly on the run from suit-wearing thugs? Chun Lei most definitely means trouble, as her interference - and a sultry cry for help - threatens the foursome's solidarity. Ever the experienced leader, Kei knows that it's best for pickpockets to keep a very low profile, and desires for his men to attract as little attention as possible. But when Kei's skills are challenged by an elder, more experienced thief, he goes all in, risking everything to help Chun Lei.~yesasia~

Fate

Fate
Alan Kuo (Actor) / Miki Yeung (Actor) / Deep Ng (Actor) / Andrew Lau (Producer)

Produced by Infernal Affairs director Andrew Lau and helmed by Portland Street Blues director Yip Wai Man, Fate follows four young people at life's crossroads, as anger, loneliness, and love bring them to the same twisting lanes and dark alleys. After starring in the Taiwan idol drama Sweet Relationship, singer-actor Alan Kuo makes his film leading man debut in Fata. The son of the late Blackie Ko, Alan Kuo previously appeared as a child actor in 80s films like My Family and The Legend of Wisely, and starred in the RTHK series Y2K+01, but this is his first time headlining a Hong Kong film. Miki Yeung (Fatal Contact), Po Po (Hidden Track), and Deep Ng (Sparkle in the Dark) make up the rest of the main cast for this uncommon youth drama about hope, redemption, and unexpected turns of Fate.
Everyone passes through "Cross Street" at some point or another in their youth, but how many people find their way out? Raised in a single-parent household, Fei (Alan Kuo) has a very close relationship with his mother. When she lands in prison because of her drug dealer boyfriend, Fei tries to get revenge and ends up losing an eye. His burning desire for revenge traps him on Cross Street. On the basketball court, PS quietly watches over Fei, because she believes that they are the same - lonely people in a cruel world. Suffering from amnesia, Nana, who has only a fleeting image of Fei left in her mind, searches relentlessly for Cross Street. She asks a stranger, King (Deep Ng), to help her find Cross Street, not remembering that King is actually her boyfriend. ~from yesasia~

Chaos

Chaos
Andrew Lin (Actor) / Kristal Tin (Actor) / Charmaine Fong (Actor) / Gordon Lam (Actor)

A lawless city, a deadly epidemic, and a cop caught on the wrong side provides the setup for Chaos, the latest film from Herman Yau. As the director of cult hit Ebola Syndrome and more recently films like Whispers and Moans and On the Edge, Herman Yau knows a thing or two about vice, violence, and viruses, and he throws everything to the screen in the fittingly titled Chaos. Starring Gordan Lam (Sparrow), Andrew Lin (The Heavenly Kings), Kristal Tin (Trivial Matters), and Charmaine Fong (Love is Elsewhere), Chaos is set in a restricted region of the city where gambling, prostitution, and drugs reign, and police dare not enter. Officer Mickey and criminal Tai Ho, however, unwittingly enter the hot zone and end up in the hands of Crow, the brutal de facto leader in this desolate no man's land. As Mickey struggles for an escape plan, a deadly virus breaks out in the walled city. The government decides to contain the virus by exterminating everyone in the area. ~from yesasia~

PTU (Blu-ray) (Hong Kong Version)

PTU (Blu-ray) (Hong Kong Version)
Simon Yam (Actor) / Raymond Wong (Actor) / Ruby Wong (Actor) /Maggie Siu (Actor)


Recognized for Best Original Screenplay at the 40th Golden Horse Awards and Best Director at the 23rd Hong Kong Film Awards, Johnnie To's brilliant 2003 police drama PTU patrols the dark, sleepless streets of Hong Kong over one very eventful night. With hardboiled anti-heroes and thrilling gunfights aesthetically washed in noir colors, PTU is a quintessential police triad drama from the master of the genre. Donning the signature black beret of the Hong Kong Police Tactical Unit, Simon Yam (Election) gives a perfectly steely and charismatic performance as a PTU officer on a coldly determined mission to find a missing police gun. Johnnie To regulars Lam Suet, Raymond Wong, Maggie Siu, and Ruby Wong play fellow police officers, while veterans Lo Hoi Pang and Eddy Ko face off as triad leaders.
The night starts like any other as PTU sergeant Mike (Simon Yam) and his squad begin their patrol. They come across Officer Lo (Lam Suet) who was beaten up in the streets by triads, and woke up to find his gun is missing. Afraid of disciplinary action, Lo desperately asks Mike for help recovering his gun before daybreak. While Mike and his team sweep the midnight haunts and usual suspects for leads, a gang war slowly breaks out on the streets over the murder of triad leader Bald Head's (Lo Hoi Pang) son. As the night unfolds, threads cross, events escalate, and the line between cop and crook blurs as all sides draw blood for the same reason: protecting their own. ~from yesasia~

CJ7

CJ7
Stephen Chow (Actor, Director) / Xu Jiao (Actor) / Lam Tze Chung / Kitty Zhang

Hands down Hong Kong's most anticipated film of 2008, Stephen Chow's sci-fi fantasy CJ7 swept into theaters across Asia in February and topped the box office with record numbers. Four years in the making, CJ7 is Chow's first film since 2004's Kung Fu Hustle and expectations are naturally sky high. Chow's last two films, Kung Fu Hustle and 2001's Shaolin Soccer, are ranked one and two on the all-time list of highest-grossing Hong Kong films, and CJ7 is quickly making its way up the rankings. In the last decade, the King of Comedy has been taking his trademark nonsense comedy, wry humor, and offbeat sentiments into new directions and genres, proving equally popular and effective behind and in front of the camera. CJ7 sees Hong Kong's favorite leading man and director entering a new stage in his inimitable career as he tackles sci-fi with this hilarious and heartwarming family-friendly fantasy feature.
Construction worker Ti (Stephen Chow) lives in a ramshackle shanty and scavenges everything from shoes to toys from the trash dump. Despite his state of abject poverty, the earnest, lesson-spouting Ti is determined to send his son Dicky (Xu Jiao) to a posh private elementary school. Dicky, however, is a lot more interested in playing than studying, and he'd like nothing more than a CJ1 robot dog to show up his bullying classmate. Unable to afford a CJ1, Ti brings home "CJ7", a curious rubbery green ball he found at the dump. His son isn't impressed - until the ball shows its true alien form, morphing into a little green dog whose penchant for mischief gives even Dicky a run for his money.
Stephen Chow has helped launched the careers of many a starlet, and this time CJ7 co-stars Mainland newcomer Kitty Zhang and talented child actress Xu Jiao who genderbends as Chow's son. Chow was so impressed with Xu Jiao's performance, he not only has more plans in store for the budding ingenue, he's adopted her as his goddaughter. Other key comedy players include portly Stephen Chow regular Lam Chi Chung and the cuddly titular alien that serves as another testament to Chow's ability to effectively integrate state-of-the-art CGI into his films. ~from yesasia~
